What quality setting do you recommend for shooting video? I will likely be doing some color correction in post. Thanks!

I would always say stick to the highest quality possible. As they say, "garbage in, garbage out". When the mode dial is set to the movie mode, the options are a little different, and the default should be the best quality, but I would double check to make sure. The function would still be located in the Quick Menu or in the Main Menu. I hope that helps.

Thanks for showing your good teaching guides. How do you like the G1? I am looking to go from Sony Super Zooms(12 zoom h5) to a dslr or maybe the g1. I want to shoot mainly landscape and nature. I will use a tripod 95% of the time. Being handicapped, live view is very important for me. Would the g1 be a good selection? I would also shoot mainly in good light. What would be a good lens or is a lens made around 70-300mm work on this camera? Will a wired or wireless remote work on the g1?

Hi, Thanks for the comment. I would highly recommend the G1. I think it's a great camera. It does have a wired remote available for about $80 and many lens option, you may want to look at the H-VS014140 - a 28-280 equivalent. Unfortunately it's as much as the camera if not more. Lastly, I don't have much experience using a DSLR's live view for a long time between shots, but the manuals don't recommend it because it heats the CCD and causes more image noise, therefore, the G1 may be better.

Thanks. Keep up the great videos and you are doing a good job. I think i'll look into the gh1 and the remote.
